Realistic RC flight SIM with InterLink Elite Controller


RealFlight Generation 4.5 R/C Flight Simulator with Interlink Elite Controller - The most realistic R/C Flight SIM experience is back - with plenty of all-new features to send you soaring! For starters, G4.5 includes RealPhysics 3D - one of the most accurate, realistic flight models ever created! Each aircraft, from the smallest helicopter to the mightiest warbird, reacts to its environment as it would in real life. Crash into a tree, and leaves fall. Crash a balsa model and you'll even see wood dust appear after the impact! And now Real Rendering™ gives you even greater detail without increasing the workload on your computer.

Want to fly with a friend? No problem! RealFlight G4.5 lets you fly with up to seven other pilots at once - whether they're as close as the next room or on the other side of the world! Two-pilot flight is also easier than ever. Just connect your own radio transmitter for multi-mode flight - no need to buy another controller! Other exciting new features let you add your own headset to chat with other pilots “live,” and offer the ability to block out unwanted users!

And let's not forget the features RealFlight is famous for: exciting night flying, coaching from Virtual Flight Instructors, easy push-button resets, AccuModel™ aircraft editor with over 1,500 airfoil choices, over 5,000 square miles of 3D TruLife™ terrain and much, much more!

  • Choose from 3 Physics levels - "Beginner", "Intermediate" and "Expert"
  • QuickSelect™ menus simplify aircraft and site selections
  • Internet-ready - fly with friends in Multiplayer mode!
  • Over 74 aircraft and 29 flying sites!

Enhanced Sound Effects for "at the field" accuracy
Squeaking wheels, whirring servo motors, splashing water...G4.5 lets your ears enjoy greater realism, too. Even prop strikes sound distinctly different depending on the surface involved!

Boost detail with RealRendering™
RealRendering reveals such fine touches as aircraft panel lines while minimizing the demands placed on your computer's processor.

FlexField™ Editor
PhotoField™ sites are legendary for razor-sharp detail - and in G4.5, they're more lifelike than ever! 3D sites are embedded in over 5,000 square miles of TrueLife Terrain™. Use the FlexiField™ flying site editor to add buildings, trees and more. Watch passing shadows faithfully follow the contours of every object that they touch. Such tiny reflective surfaces as car windows display the mirror image of their surroundings. See a trim scheme or flying site on the internet that you like? Download it onto RealFlight G4.5!

Depth of Field puts the focus on your aircraft
Staying focused on your aircraft is easy with G4.5's Depth of Field (DoF) effect. Turned on, it keeps your model the visual focal point of your simulation — while anything that falls outside of its immediate vicinity loses sharpness.

FEATURES:
  • Truer-than-ever physics, graphics, and sound
  • Three pre-set difficulty levels (beginner, intermediate, and advanced) let pilots choose how sensitive the physics should be
  • Sound effects from servo motors to wheels rolling and squeaking
  • Over 25 flying sites including two new PhotoField sites: Santa Clara County Model Aircraft Skypark and Gold Country Aeromodeler Park
  • Over 70 "stock" aircraft are included
  • AccuModel aircraft editor changes and modifies aircraft easily
  • 3D flying sites offer over 5,000 square miles of digitally created TrueLife Terrain created from hundreds of megabytes of satellite imagery and digital elevation data
  • Multiplayer allows up to 8 RealFlight pilots to fly together. Add a headset and microphone and they can chat with each other while they fly.

RealFlight G4.5 includes over 70 aircraft spanning Park Flyers to 3D aerobats, slope soarers to Reno racers, gliders, helicopters and more.

The InterLink Elite, the recipient of two patents, is the most versatile flight sim controller you've ever seen. Designed from Futaba's popular 6EX system, it has the look and feel of a full-size transmitter complete with digital trims. For those wanting to use their own transmitter, the InterLink Elite has the interface built-in.

MultiMode allows the controller and interface to be used at the same time.

Many of the aircraft in RealFlight G4.5 are equipped with floats to allow for thrilling takeoffs and landings from a pond, lake or ocean. Just like the land-based sites, your model will react to impact with objects floating in the constantly shifting water.

RealFlight G4.5 includes amazing night flying capabilities! With your aircraft outlined in neon, you'll have the unique experience of orienting by the lights on the field below. Modelers can also fly in the bright light of the day or in the darkest of night at All of G4.5's 3D flying sites. G4.5's Carnival night flying site even includes all of the sideshows and attractions that you'd expect to see at a carnival -- even rides that move and the sequential lights of the Ferris Wheel. Additionally, G4.5 includes a nighttime version of the Grass Flatlands PhotoField Site!

RealFlight's amazingly accurate RealPhysics technology has been enhanced to capture the jaw-dropping 4-D physics of variable pitch propeller systems. Aircraft on G4.5 behave just as they would in the real-world.

"Full Coverage" Detection Technology - Each aircraft is blanketed with hundreds of sensor points for the most realistic reaction to impacts you can imagine. Results are dependent on what two objects collide and how hard. Just as they would in the real-world, 3D objects react when impacted.

Virtual Flight Instruction - G4.5 includes new training functions and lessons from the pros! Complete with voiceover commands and video display of the proper stick movements. Study pre-recorded airplane and heli maneuvers from acclaimed pilots such as Frank Noll, Jason Shulman, Todd Bennett and John Glezellis.

Heli Orientation Training - Users play follow-the-leader with the on-screen "ghost" heli. Sucessfully, matching the "ghost" heli advances them to the next level - increasing their skills along the way! Hovering is also easy by concentrating on the chosen control surfaces and having the computer serve as an "auto-pilot" for the rest.

G4.5's AccuModel aircraft editor allows users to alter virtually anything on their aircraft. Selections include, but are not limited to: airfoils, propellers, wingspan, rotor blades...and a whole lot more! Any desired aircraft modifications are graphically represented on a wire-frame model and reflected instantly on screen.

Over 5,000 square miles of TrueLife Terrain-where soft shadows move, clouds roll by, shiny surfaces reflect the sun and bodies of water shimmer and shift.

G4.5's FlexiField flying site allows the adding of buildings, trees vehicles and much more. Download trim schemes and flying sites from the Internet onto RealFlight G4.5.

TruFlo Wind Dynamics capture the true nature of wind as it affects flight. Five wind fields offer subtle variations. As winds collide their strength varies accordingly and aircraft will feel the "bump" of a thermal as they approach the top of a mountain or hill.

Depth of Field effect keeps your aircraft in focus while allowing other objects to be slightly out of focus.

RealRendering brings out incredible detail without placing more demands on your computer.

Easy one-click installation...simple enough for novice PC users!
